What do they do? Hawk Grips breaks up scar tissue surrounding your muscles like a gorilla breaking through a tree. Scar tissue is how your body recovers, but like in life, too much of anything is bad. Scar tissue repairs but hinders movement. Reduced movement can lead to an increased risk of future complications. You want your muscles to be free and flexible, right? Some of the best professional athletes in the world will tell you flexibility is key to performance. No one wants a barrier in front of their goals and neither does your muscle. Give it the assistance it needs to recover right and break through its limitations.

All of a sudden, you feel fatigued, tired, and ready to quit. There's a build up of metabolic waste and your muscles are paying for it. Your muscles feel like they're burning and your body is giving in. Each system in your body is fatigued. Your body is unable to flush out the waste that has accumulated. Your workout must end. You sit in NormaTec’s recovery boots because you know you need it. They provide your body the assistance it's asking for and you know better than to deny your body of what it wants. The boots add pulse compression to your legs. Your venous and lymphatic systems are now flushing metabolic waste, thus increasing your recovery. You're now awesome and ready to perform!

Do you think it sets you off balance? All of this has to do with biomechanical imbalance. Imbalance is the death of an athlete. No athlete can perform without proper balance throughout their entire body. Actually, no one can perform without balance. This balance is where sports chiropractic puts it’s focus . Sport chiropractic focuses on assisting you with achieving balance, which leads to better recovery and performance.

Do you think it sets you off balance? All of this has to do with biomechanical imbalance. Imbalance is the death of an athlete.

Sport chiropractic focuses on assisting you with achieving balance, which leads to better recovery and performance.

What is Adrenal Fatigue?

By: 0

What is Adrenal Fatigue?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday In this week's video we answer the question "What is Adrenal Fatigue?" First, we discuss how the term "Adrenal Fatigue" is a colloquial term for a phenomenon that should be referred to as Hypothalamus, Pituitary, Adrenal Dysfunction (or HPA Axis Dysfunction). Second, we discuss the three main stages of adrenal fatigue and why none of them are recognized by western medicine even though they are perfectly real. Lastly, we briefly discuss how you can get tested (with a practitioner) to find out if you have adrenal fatigue. One important point to bear in mind that comes from a doctor who I respect tremendously, Dr. Bryan Walsh, is the following. It's a lazy diagnosis if a practitioner just says "Oh, you have adrenal fatigue, here take some hormones to fix that." The difference between a good practitioner and a lazy practitioner is that the good practitioner will ask "Why does this person have adrenal fatigue?" Inevitably there's some deeper reason why the adrenals are not functioning properly like immune issues, digestive issues, etc. As we've talked about with every other issue we've discussed whether it's blood sugar issues, digestive issues, or hypothyroidism. It's not enough to know that things are going wrong. You need a practitioner who can help you figure out WHY things are going wrong. It's the same thing with HPA Axis dysfunction, which is more commonly known as adrenal fatigue.
